On the other side.
When Ruben followed Giana downstairs, he saw her walking slowly down the street.
Ruben walked quickly towards her and asked in a low voice, "Where's your car?"
Giana was surprised.
She paused for a while and then said, "I ...The driver had to go home, so he didn't come"
"What about your assistant?"
"I don't have any plans now, so I gave her a day off.”
"OK." Ruben paused and said.
After a few steps, Giana asked, "Are you going back to school? This is the wrong way"
Ruben said, "I'll walk you there."
Giana probably didn't expect him to say that.She was stunned for a moment.
Then she smiled and said, "I'm an adult.I don't need you to do that.You should go back quickly, or the
gate will be closed soon"
"It's still early" said Ruben.
It seemed that he was not leaving.
She thought for a while and said seriously, "I'm going to see my friend.She lives nearby.I'll be there in a
minute.You really can go.."
"Then I'll walk you downstairs."
Giana was lost for words.
She licked her lips, not knowing what to Say.
They walked in silence.
But this was the business area and there wasn't any neighborhood, so Giana did get a chance.
When Giana finally saw a neighborhood, she immediately said, "Here it is.Thank you for walking me
here.Bye."
Ruben stopped and nodded, "You can go in.Bye."
Giana forced a smile.
She could only go in there.
The security guard asked her at the gate, "Where is your key card?"
Giana had to get on with it, "I come to meet my friend."
"Call her and ask her to pick you up.You're not allowed to go in without the key card" replied the guard.
Giana slowly took out his phone from his bag under the guard's gaze.
But she didn't make the call or turn around.
Because she saw that Ruben was still standing there, not leaving.
The security guard became suspicious, "What exactly are you doing here?"
When Giana was extremely embarrassed, a cold male voice came from close by, "Sorry, we're at the
wrong place."
With that, Ruben pulled Giana away.
After a long while, Giana realized that he was holding her hand.
She quickly pulled it out, trying to explain what had just happened.
She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Ruben did not mention that again.
Instead, he took out his phone, "Where do you live?"
Giana could just give him her address.
Ruben tapped on the screen with his long finger and then put it away.
They were standing on the side of the street, with the night breeze blowing.
It was chilly.
Giana couldn't help but turn her head and look at the boy beside her.
He was far taller than her.
A street lamp cast a dim, yellow light on him.
His outline became clearer.
Ruben did have good genes in his family.
Sharon was so beautiful, so was her brother.
Once this good-looking boy became a star, a lot of girls would be charmed by him.He was so
handsome.
When Giana was lost in thought, a white car stopped in front of them.
Ruben said softly, "It's here"
Giana coughed and touched her neck to cover the awkward moment.
Ruben took a step forward and opened the car door.
Seeing this, Giana quickly got in the car Ruben also bent down to hop in.
When Ruben got in, Giana moved closer to the window, keeping a distance from him.
D**n it, this wasn't the first time she was sent home by a man, but she felt embarrassed this time
somehow.
Ruben noticed what Giana did, but he did not say anything, and then he closed the car door.
They remained silent all the way.
All they could hear were the songs that played again and again.
They were from the 1980s and 90s, and they were a little noisy.
Giana took out her earphones, and when she put one on, she saw that Ruben was looking at her.
Giana asked in a low voice, "You want it?"
Ruben nodded lightly.
She could just give the earphone to Ruben.
When Ruben took it, he leaned over a little.
Giana's eyes widened.
It was wireless.
He could have remained still! But Giana could not say anything since Ruben had done it.
She could only clicked on her song list and play a slow English song.
After a while, Giana realized that she shouldn't have given Ruben one of her earphones.
Now she could still hear the old-fashioned disco music played by the driver, while there was a slow
song being played in her earphone.
It was making her crazy.
Giana peeped at Ruben and found that he was looking out of the window.
It seemed that he was not annoyed at all.
Fine.
That was it.
Finally, after about thirty minutes, the car stopped.
Giana was so annoyed that she hastily got out of the car.
It was really driving her crazy.
When Ruben got out, Giana turned off the music and pointed over him, "I'm home.You should go back."
Ruben said, "I won't leave until you go in."
She was lost for words.What was wrong with this boy? He didn't trust her? Giana coughed and
explained, "I really live here."
Ruben gave a dry laugh, "I know"
Giana took a few steps back and waved at him, "Then ...Goodbye."
"Bye."
Giana smiled.Then, she turned around and went in.
Staring after her, Ruben moved his thin lips, but he didn't say anything.
He just watched her leave.
When Giana disappeared from view, Ruben took off the earphone and held it in his hand.
He looked down at it, and then smiled.
When Giana got home and took off the earphone, she realized that there was one missing.
She hurriedly called Ruben, "Have you left?"
"Yes"
Giana fell on the sofa, "Do you have my earphone?"
"What?"
Ruben paused for a moment and said, "Yes"
Before Giana could speak, he went on, "Are you in a hurry? If you're not, I'll bring it to you tomorrow"
"It's fine.It's just earphone.Actually, it's not that important" Giana slowly said, "That's it ...Be careful on
the road"
"OK" Ruben said, "Could I text you when I get there?"
Giana was stunned.
"I just want to tell you that I'm fine."
"...OK"
Ruben smiled, "OK.I gonna go"
